t3 sodium

Liothyronine Sodium is the sodium salt form of liothyronine, a synthetic form of the levorotatory isomer of the naturally occurring thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3). Liothyronine sodium (3,3',5-Triiodo-L-thyronine sodium) binds to nuclear thyroid receptors which then bind to thyroid hormone response elements of target genes. As a result, liothyronine sodium induces gene expression that is required for normal growth and development. Liothyronine sodium is more potent and has a more rapid action than thyroxine (T4).

L-Thyroxine sodium (LT4 sodium), the major hormone derived from the thyroid gland, is the agonist of Thyroid hormone receptor alpha and beta.

Reverse T3 (3,3',5'-triiodo-L-thyronine) inhibits the increase of sodium current generated by other thyroid hormone analogs in neonatal rat myocytes.

Liothyronine sodium hydrate (Triiodothyronine sodium hydrate) is a TRα and TRβ agonist and a thyroxine analog with anticancer and antitumor activities. It can be used to study hypothyroidism, stroke and cognitive dysfunction.
